Medical device engineers often have to have as nuanced an understanding of various clinical concepts as the physicians that deal directly with patients. While many engineers are natural autodidacts*and simply dive into the topic they’re working on, a more curated and rigorous study may be necessary to have a proper understanding of medical concepts. To that end, MIT Professional Education will be hosting a new course titled “Quantitative Cardiovascular Physiology and Clinical Applications for Engineers.”

According to MIT, the program will prepare R&D engineers and other professionals to “understand the **rmal cardiovascular physiology at the systems level”. Having an understanding of the systemic nature of the cardiovascular system will help engineers to better tailor devices to the body’s natural mechanisms.

Here’s a quick summary of the eight blocks of the program:

1. Functional anatomy of the cardiovascular system
2. Mathematical models of the cardiovascular system
3. Function of the heart and the peripheral circulation
4. Function of the intact cardiovascular system
5. Control of the cardiovascular system
6. Physical basis of electrocardiography
7. Clinical electrocardiography
8. Hemodynamic monitoring
